It’s been raining hard intermittently the last 3 days which is an unusual occurrence for us with loud thunder and amazing lightning show.

Sun trying to peep out over the hovering dark clouds with beautiful rainbow at times and mesmerizing sunset. This is not always the case and I look forward to this kind of weather.

The smell of rain is a change for us and I’m loving it. Rainy, cloudy, dark, dreary, cold and a bowl of savory Chicken Mami can warm me up.

I took my mom on vacation a few years ago on her birthday to Vancouver Island in Canada. On our 2^nd day, it stormed hard and I was enjoying it. As always, I had a room with balcony, a must for a smoker (quit already).

It was windy, pouring rain and I was out at the balcony craving for something noodle soup. Although we were close to China Town, it was impossible to go out. So we went to bed, craving for Chicken Mami.

If you ever go to Vancouver Island and love fall colors, one of the best time to visit is during the peak of Fall.

Go to Butchart Garden, visit the Sunken and Japanese Garden. It is lovely and absolutely beautiful. It was chilly but it was worth seeing the stunning and delightful vibrant fall foliage.

Chicken Mami Ingredients

How to Make Chicken Stock

Use bone-in chicken. If you can buy a substantial amount of chicken neck, it is one of the best part to use when making chicken stock.

In a large pot, add bone-in chicken, onion, peppercorn, salt, garlic powder and water.

As soon as water boils, lower heat and simmer for 1 ½ hours.

If using chicken meat with bones, remove when tender. Remove chicken meat and return bones in the pot to continue cooking.

When done, strain chicken stock.

Refrigerate for a few hours and remove fat that harden on top.

Now, you can use this homemade chicken stock when cooking.

It is convenient to have chicken stock on hand. I freeze it in different sized containers for a month.

Notes

Dip only enough noodles you can consume. They tend to stick to each other if exposed to air.
If you have leftover broth, refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze for a month.
